LoGAN's GRANDSON.

4 Smart Little Man with Great Discrim-
inative Powers.
Senator Logan has smart little
grandson, whose name is Logan Tuck
er. The Washington Post tells the
following of him: ':He is being care
fully trained, and one of the teachings
most earnestly inculcated has been that
he must not accept money gifts from
visitors. One day not long since afriend
of the family called and presented a
stranger, to whom the little man was
introduced. The gentleman took him
on his knee, asked him his name, age,
ETC., the usual formula with children,
and then, taking bright silver dollar
from his pocket, offered it to him. 1t
was a big piece Of money and q big
temptation. The boy had successfully
resisted nickels, but was plainly
tempted now. He glanced appealing
" at his mother, to be met by shake
Of disapproval; then at grandma, an
other shake; then at grandpa q more
decided shake still. Then turning his
wistful eyes toward the gentleman, he
viewed him all over from head to foot
till apparently satisfied, when, turning
towards the General, he said: why
not, grandpaP He don't want any

An interesting anecQOCo IS related OF
Mrs. Bronson, of New York, the widow
of the late Mr.. Arthur Bronson-the
lady who, gossip has it, is to become at
no distant date the second wife of the
poet Browning. 1t is said that during
her residence in Venice, after her hus-
bands death. she was so panied by the
constant use of profane language by
the gondoliers, that she resolved to
make a determined effort to put stop
to it The means she chose was (for
Protestant) singular. Being convinced
that if they had constantly in sight
something which they revered, they
would hesitate to blaspheme in the
presence of such an object, she placed
tiny shrines Of the Blessed Virgin on
the walls in many places along the
canals. Now," she said to them, s.you

THE OPIUM HABIT.
How Case of Long Standing Was Cured
Easily and Effectively.

How q Case of Long Standing Was Cured
Easily and Effectively.
There can be little doubt that much
of the distress resulting from absti-
nence from an accustomed stimulant,
whatever it be, is due to Imagination,
and in some cases victims of the habit
have cured themselves by the exertion
simply of a strong determination to
take no more. In large number of
cases, however, the indulgence has
produced complete paralysis of will.
power, and then some method of
iudicious medical treatment is neces-
sary, although even then success does
not always follow. An account of an
ingenious mode of effecting the cure
of long-indulged opium habit is given
in the Medical World by Dr: R. H.
Dalton. The patient was first allowed
for a week to take her usual quantity
of morphine in the form of mixture
containing also five drops of nux
vomica and one-quarter grain quinine
in each dose, and colored with tincture
of lavender. Then for twenty weeks
the amount of morphine was lessened
every seven days by one-twentieth.
and, at the same time. the tincture in
creased by one drop and the quinine by
one-quarter grain at each change, un-
til the morphine was left entirely out.
In the meantime, however, the quinine
was not augmented after the ninth
week, but ten drops of elixir of vitriol
added to each dose taken afterwards.
The diminution of morphine was
minute and gradual, and the taste be-
ing the same, the patient was unable
to detect any change whatever during
the four months treatment. As soon
as DR.. Dalton became satisfied that the
habit was entirely in the mind, he an
nounced that she had not taken a
particle of morphine for two weeks.
As soon as she understood this the
spell was broken, and she wanted no
more morphine, her health had be-
come very much improved, and her
gratitude seemed unbounded. DR..
Dalton thinks that if recourse to stimu-
lants be prevented during the curing of
the opium habit. any physician may
succeed with this plan.-Britssh and

The Harlan Case.

This case is on the calendar of cases, to
come mp before the Superior Court ON the
first Monday in February, says the Yolo
Mail AT that time the Court will probably
set the day of trial. The present Legis-
lature, it is understood, will be called upon
to pass measure providing that the State,
in criminal actions, may, in an emergency.
have the right to demand change of
venue. As the law now stands, the defend
ant only has this privilege. The Prewett
murder case, in San Benito county, it is
said, calls for such law. Should an en-
ac.ment of this kind pass the Legislature,
it is thought it would cover the Harlan
case. and allow the State to get change of
venue to some other county, in the event
that il became impossible to impanel an
other jury. Good lawyers. on the other
hand, claim that such law would be in
the nature of an er post ,facto law as related
to criminal cases arising before the passage
of the Act. Retroactive laws are forbidden
by the Federal Constitution. and the Courts
of last resort would probably be called
upon to make a ruling in the matter,
should an attempt be made to apply such
law in either the Prewett or the Harlan
case

ESCAPE OF THE CREW.
The Captain says he at once ordered q
boat to be lowered and the crew, consisting
of eight hands, all told. got into it. They
had not pulled more than two cable lengths
away when the schooner struck on the
rocks. They made for Point Bonita, where
they arrived somewhere about midnight
and proceeded to Saucelito, from where they
were brought this morning in the ferry-boat
by Captain Mackenzie. The Captain and
crew went at once to the scene of the wreck
to see If amy of their effects had been saved.
So quickly had they to leave the schooner
that they had not time to take anything
with them. The Captain was unable to
save even his own watch or the vessels
papers. The crew have lost everything
they had except what they stood up in.
The Parallel was valued at $1,000, and
was insured for So 500. cannot say if the
entire cargo was insured, but the powder

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
FORTY TONS OF GIANT POWDER
LET LOOSE.
A Schooner Loaded with Powder
Drifts Upon the Rocks at Point
Lobos-Houses Demolished.
is. F. Call, January 10TH


About midnight last night telephone
message was received at the Merchants
Exchange from their observer, John Hys-
lop, stating that the schooner Parallel had
gone ashore just under Point Lobos and
would probably be total loss. An hour
later came telephone message from Mr..
Hyslop, stating that a quantity of powder
on board the vessel had exploded and
caused great destruction in the vicinity.
1t appears that the Parallel sailed from
this port on Friday morning last, under
command of Captain Miller, having cargo
of general merchandise on board, bound for
Astoria, Or. The supposition is that she
proceeded northward until compelled to
return by strong head winds. Reaching
the otfing. outside the heads, the wind died
out, and being caught by strong tide the
schooner was carried on shore at the south
end of Point Lobos and inside of Seal
Rocks. The schooner drifted on the beach,
broadside to, close up to the rocks, and was
landed on rocky bottom, the beach at the
point where she landed being we'll broken
with rocks, over which the surf breaks on
the calmest day. 1t was $50 o'clock when
she struck.
THE LIFE-sAvING STATION PEOPLE
Were at once notified, and proceeded to the
scene of the wreck to render such assist
ance as lay in their power. They were
working there up to the time the explosion
occurred, which was evidently caused by
the conclusion when the vessel pounded
upon the rocks. The explosion was ire
mendous one, its force being felt for miles
around, buildings as far away as Sansome
street feeling its effect. The house of the
station at Point Lobos was utterly demol-
ished. The life-saving station met with a
like fate, while the west side of the Cliff
House was blown completely out, and every
window-pane in the building shattered. All
the window-glass within the radius of a
mile was broken. Three members of the
life-saving crew are reported to be very Sc
yerely injured.
THE CREW LEAVE THE VESSEL.
1t is understood that the crew of the
schooner abandoned her when they saw
she was doomed, and taking refuge in the
small boats made the best of their way up
the harbor. The Parallel was craft of 142
tons, built at this port in 1865 and owned
by S. b. Peterson,
In an interview. with the owner of the
